You could always buy $US from Australia Post when the rate is high. No commission is charged. Only thing is that you have to wait a day or 2 to pick up the cash, but the rate is as it was on the day purchased. Did this fairly recently & it worked out well, especially as most places at our destination (not Indonesia) accepted $US for just about everything.
Worth considering. Minimum purchase is AUD200.
